Chapter Thirteen - Afterword: Pardon, 1986 - The Murder Of Little Mary Phagan, 1989 - Read By Vanessa Neubauer In 2015
This is the thirteenth and final installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean. The author's father told her that Alonzo Mann, passed away on March 18th,1985. The author's father and the author met with Celest Moore of the Pardons and Paroles Board regarding another application for a pardon for Leo Frank. The board had previously denied a pardon in 1983 due to the reverberations from the case. The author's father believed that the Jewish community had filed a posthumous pardon application, which would be based on the contention that the state did not protect Leo Frank and that his rights were violated.
Renewal efforts for a pardon began in September 1985, and the author's father believed that a pardon that addressed the extra legal case about Leo Frank would be most likely achievable. The board agreed to grant a special type of pardon that would imply neither innocence or guilt, but merely address the concerns brought about by the case.
The author's father reminded the board that if the pardon were granted, books, miniseries, and movies of the Mary Phagan/Leo Frank case would be made, and the controversy surrounding her horrible death would continue. The author's father announced the issuance of a pardon order on March 11, 1986, at the Georgia State Capitol.
The author's father questioned why there was no public announcement of receipt of the application and why other people opposed the pardon were not told of the new application. The author believes that the pardon would not heal old wounds as they had hoped, and the controversy surrounding Mary Phagan's death would continue.
The author's father argued that the board had overlooked guilt or innocence in the Frank trial, something it had never done in pardons of forgiveness or pardons of innocence. The author's father's father felt saddened by the situation and the lack of conclusive evidence proving Frank's innocence.

Chapter Twelve - Application For Pardon, 1983 - The Murder Of Little Mary Phagan, 1989 - Read By Vanessa Neubauer In 2015
This is the twelfth installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean. This is the eleventh installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean.
In October 1982, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles received a formal application for a posthumous pardon for Leo Frank. The Anti Defamation League, the American Jewish Committee, and the Atlanta Jewish Federation filed the application, directed by a lawyer's committee chaired by Atlanta immigration lawyer Dale N. Schwartz. The board wanted to study the case with minimal outside pressure and publicity. The petitioners base their case for pardon not on the legality of the trial and conviction of Leo Frank but on extra legal concerns.
The Anti Defamation League staffer later stated that the Frank pardon was not simply a matter of one person, but rather an attempt to obtain an official repudiation of anti-Semitism and bigotry. The petitioners argued that exonerating Frank would mean "convicting Jim Conley" and possibly be construed as racism. The Atlanta Black Jewish Coalition declared that they must seize this opportunity and pursue justice.
Attorney Edgar Neely argued that the Georgia system of justice in 1913 was impugned, and the reputation of its lawyers in general, particularly Frank's counsel. The leaders of the pardon effort responded at length, outlining new evidence of Alonzo Mann, which had been unavailable to Frank's lawyers. Mobley Hole, then chairman of the Board of Pardons and Paroles, considered Neely's arguments carefully.
While Governor Joseph Harris, District Attorney Lewis Slayton, and the Georgia Senate expressed sympathy for the effort to exonerate Leo Frank, they also recommended obtaining a pardon from the Board of Pardons and Paroles. The petitioners began to see that a pardon would best fulfill the extra legal goals of Frank's exoneration and be considered by the public as definitive. Listen to the audio-video clip of the chapter for full details regarding the pardon.

Chapter Eleven - The Phagans Break Their Vow Of Silence - The Murder Of Little Mary Phagan - Read By Vanessa Neubauer In 2015
This is the eleventh installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean.
The author recounts her experience as a journalist and her family's reaction to the Tennessean staff's investigation into the murder of Mary Phagan. She was initially skeptical, but eventually accepted the invitation to a press conference at the Atlanta Jewish Community Center. The event was attended by reporters Jerry Thompson and Robert Sherborn, who presented evidence for Leo Frank's innocence. The author was asked to remain anonymous due to her family's silence and doubts about making any statements.
The press conference focused on the effect of Mann's affidavit as the missing link of evidence to substantiate Frank's innocence. The author was asked to be objective, as she had always believed that Leo Frank was convicted of her murder. However, she found it difficult to do so due to her emotional involvement.
The meeting adjourned due to the potential impact on the governor's race, and the author found it difficult to reconcile her two views. Her brother Michael died just three days after the news conference, leaving her feeling emotionally affected.
The author's father had previously warned her that the story of Mary Phagan would never be forgotten, and that the media would never put the case to rest until Leo Frank's innocence could be established. The Tennessean staff, including the author, were hesitant to make any statements about the case, but the author's family's silence and the media's handling of the case made it difficult for them to come forward with their own conclusions. In this episode, hear to the Phagans' speak about their ordeal with this case and how it had a devastating affect on their family.

Chapter Ten - Alonzo Mann's Testimony - The Murder Of Little Mary Phagan, 1989 - Read By Vanessa Neubauer In 2015
This is the tenth installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean.
In February 1978, the author's coworkers at Griffin Co-operational Education Service were surprised to find their father and mother in a newspaper article about the murder of Little Mary Phagan. The author and their father found several inaccuracies in the articles and felt they had to voice their opinion. The series rekindled interest in the case, and people wanted details on the trial and the lynching.
The author became more articulate in discussing the case and felt a sense of confidence since they knew the story well and could answer most of the questions. They had plans to marry in June of that year. Bernard, who knew nothing about the story of Little Mary Phagan, asked the author if they were related to her. The author agreed and began to let it be known that there were close relatives of Little Mary Phagan who were still living.
The author's father acknowledged their relationship to Mary by contacting a reporter, and the author visited the grave of Little Mary Phagan. The grave had a marble tombstone with a beautiful inscription written by Tom Watson. The author took photos for a scrapbook about Mary and met a middle-aged couple who asked if they knew where the grave was.
In 1978, the author experienced firsts and beginnings. The first time her father acknowledged their relationship to Mary by contacting a reporter, the author's first visit to the grave of Little Mary Phagan, and her first car accident with an elderly woman who had a connection to Mary. The woman shared her memories of the trial and the changes she had seen in her 92 years. The author had a wonderful time with her and would lunch with her on Mondays, becoming very close to each other. Listen to more "claims" made by Alonzo Mann throughout the rest of the chapter.

Chapter Nine - Reverberations - The Murder Of Little Mary Phagan, 1989 - Read By Vanessa Neubauer In 2015
This is the nineth installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean. The vigilance committee stood guard at the tree from which Leo Frank was hung, expecting someone to cut it down. Two months after the lynching, the group climbed to the top of Stone Mountain outside Atlanta and burned a large cross. In 1915, William J. Simmons, an ex Methodist minister and member of at least eight fraternal orders, gathered 34 men, including members of the Knights of Mary Phagan and three former Ku Klux Klan members, and signed an application to the State of Georgia to charter the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. They formerly inaugurated the new Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan, which added to its motto of "white supremacy", anti-Catholicism, and anti-Semitism.
The original Ku Klux Klan, founded in 1867, was a secret society opposed to the reconstruction policies of the radical Republican Congress and aimed to reestablish white supremacy in the south. The empire began a campaign of terror against ex slaves and whites who involved themselves in black causes, using methods such as flogging, torture, and lynching. The Mary Phagan Leo Frank case was the spark that rekindled the Ku Klux Klan, but as whites regained control of state governments in the south, its power faded.
In the early 1920s, with the help of experienced promoters and fundraisers Edward Y. Clark and Elizabeth Tyler, the clan began exercising strong control over local politics throughout the south and spread rapidly into the north, especially Oregon, Oklahoma, Indiana, Maine, and Illinois. At one point, the Invisible Empire claimed a million members.
During the civil rights era, the Klan again raised its head and is recruiting members today. The formation of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith was established four weeks after Leo Frank's trial ended, and it vigorously opposed all lynchings. For further inquiries about the aftermath of the death sentence, and the formation of the Anti-Defamation League, listen to this chapter of the book till the end.

Chapter Seven - The Commutation - The Murder Of Little Mary Phagan, 1989 - Read By Vanessa Neubauer In 2015
This is the seventh installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean. John Marshall Slaton, the governor of Georgia, had been grappling with the idea of commutation of Leo Frank's sentence since June 1915. He received over 100,000 letters favoring commutation or pardon for Frank and the Georgia case, and the national press reminded him of his power of pardon and responsibility to use it. Newspapers throughout the country supported the request for Frank's pardon, but many Georgians and Atlanteans resisted this renewed intrusion into an affair they felt justice had been done.
When the Supreme Court rejected Frank's plea in April 1915, his lawyers began working for executive clemency. They believed that Frank's chances for commutation were better with the incumbent governor, John Marshall Slaton, than with his successor, Nat Harris. Judge Morris, through the Cobb Democratic Executive Committee, alleged that Slaton was a member of the law firm defending Frank. The Cobb Democratic Executive Committee publicly called on Slaton to resign as governor or assure Georgians he would not commute Frank's sentence.
Slaton declined to do either, and Frank was scheduled to hang on June 22, 1915. Slaton requested the Supreme Court ruling on the question of mob influence at the trial and researched the official judgments of other appellate courts while trying to reach a balance between Georgia's judiciary integrity and mob rule.
During the Frank case, Slaton spent a great deal of time and attention studying the elevator, which led to much of the best evidence for Frank. He shut himself in his library for the entire day on June 20, 1915, working on the Frank case. On June 21, Slaton announced that he had ordered the sentence commuted, and his wife stayed awake waiting for him. Tune-in to find out how the commutation was cancelled and the original sentence (execution for manslaughter) was implemented upon Leo Frank.

Chapter Eight - The Lynching - The Murder Of Little Mary Phagan, 1989 - Read By Vanessa Neubauer In 2015
This is the eighth installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean. Leo Frank, while a prisoner in Fulton Tower, was moved to Millageville prison farm with secrecy and efficiency. He was taken to the prison's basement and then to a back alley where another car waited. Frank and the sheriff and deputies escorted him to Atlanta's main railroad station, where they caught a train to Macon. They arrived in Macon and drove the remaining 25 miles to Millageville.
Frank had lost weight during his two years in Fulton Tower and the General's dampness there had undermined his health at Millageville. The warden at Millageville informed newsmen that he did not need the assistance of troops and would be able to defend his prison against attack. Within two weeks of arriving, Georgia newspapers gave prominent coverage to the unveiling of Mary Phagan's monument. The Knights of Mary Phagan met near her grave and vowed to avenge Mary's death. A few days later, there were rumors of a plan to kidnap and lynch Leo Frank. Governor Harris put the state police on alert, but the plan was thwarted.
Life in Millageville was comfortable for Leo Frank, who spent most of his time in correspondence with Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. He expressed his expectation that justice would hold complete sway and that he would be completely exonerated. On July 17, William Creen, a twice-convicted murderer, slashed Frank's throat with a butcher knife, nearly severing the jugular vein. Warden Smith summoned J. W. McNaughton, a physician serving a life sentence at Millageville, who believed he meant to kill Frank to keep other inmates safe from mob violence.
For further information regarding the gory details of the lynching of Leo Frank, listen to the rest of the audiobook.

Chapter Five - The Case For The Defense - The Murder Of Little Mary Phagan, 1989 - Read By Vanessa Neubauer In 2015
This is the fifth installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean. Despite the fact that it would have taken at least one half hour for the murder and movement of the body to the cellar, the writing of the murder notes, and Conley's hiding in the wardrobe to occur, there were only 30 minutes between 12:00 and 1230 that Frank's time was not accounted for. This inconsistency led many people to question whether Frank had enough time to commit the murder and move the body.
Frank's pretrial statements indicated that he arrived at the pencil factory on the day of the murder at 8:30 a.m., went to Montag Brothers, returned to the factory at 1055, left at 1245 or 1250, went home for lunch, and stayed at the factory until 06:00. He learned of the murder the next morning around 10:30. The defense called over 20 witnesses to corroborate Frank's version of when the murder happened, where Frank had been, and at what time.
The first two witnesses, W.H. Matthews and W.T. Hollis, testified that Mary Phagan arrived at Lindsay Street at about 11:50 and was alone. Herbert Schiff, assistant superintendent of the Pencil factory, testified to the system of business, the preparation of the financial sheet, the procedure for paying off employees, and how the pencils are made. Miss Maddie Hall Stenographer from Montague testified that she finished her work, left around 12:22 p.m., and punched the clock. Miss Magnolia Kennedy swore that she was behind Helen Ferguson and that she did not ask for Mary Phagan's pay envelope.
Minola McKnight, the cook for the Seligs, testified that she worked for Mr. and Mrs. Selig and cooked breakfast for the family on April 26. Her husband Albert McKnight was not present during the day, and Mr. Frank left the factory sometime after 02:00 p.m. To find out what else had happened prior to the murder of Little Mary Phagan and in the immediate aftermath of the incident, listen to the audiobook.

Chapter Six - Sentencing And Aftermath - The Murder Of Little Mary Phagan, 1989 - Read By Vanessa Neubauer In 2015
This is the sixth installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean.
In 1913, Judge Roan was secretly sentencing Leo Frank to the common jail of Fulton County for murder, fearing a public uprising. The trial was the longest and most expensive in Georgia history, with 1,080,060 words of stenographic records. The state's star witness, Jim Conley, had been on the stand longer than any other witness in state history.
The trial was criticized by Rosser and Arnold, who believed that the jury was unconsciously prejudiced and that the final judgment of the American people would be a fair one. They entered into the case with the profound conviction of Frank's innocence and every step of the trial intensified and fortified their belief in his innocence.
Frank's lawyers began to prepare their appeal, covering 103 points, including affidavits about the alleged prejudice toward him by two members of the jury, A. H. Henslee and M. Johenning. Other points raised included jurors being influenced by crowd demonstrations outside the courtroom, that Conley's allegation of Frank's immoral activities should not have been allowed into evidence, and that the evidence did not support the verdict.
Rosser and Arnold made a final plea to Judge Rohn, calling it the most horrible persecution of a Jew since the death of Christ. On October 30, 113, judge Roan denied the defense's motion for a new trial, but the ruling was affirmed by the Georgia Supreme Court on February 17, 1914.
Several prosecution witnesses retracted their original testimony, while defense lawyers restudied every aspect of the Frank case, including the murder notes allegedly written by Conley at Frank's direction.
Make sure to hear more about the details of the immediate aftermath right after the death sentence is meted out to Frank even after several appeals.

Chapter Four - The Case For The Prosecution - The Murder Of Little Mary Phagan, 1989 - Read By Vanessa Neubauer in 2015
This is the fourth installment in a 13-part series of audiobooks from the "The Murder of Little Mary Phagan" book by Mary Phagan-Kean. In the summer of 1913, the Honorable Leonard Strickland Roan convened the Leo Frank case in the temporary Atlanta Courtroom. The 250 seats in the courtroom were packed with people, and Judge Roan, an experienced jurist, was determined to observe strict decorum inside his courtroom. The twelve jurors, all white men and Atlanta residents, were chosen and lodged at the old Kimball house.
The chief prosecutor, Solicitor General Hugh A. Dorsey, was handsome and forceful, and he was assisted by Frank Arthur Hooper, a successful corporate attorney who had volunteered his services, and Edward A. Stevens, Assistant solicitor general. Leo Frank was defended by Atlanta's two well-known trial lawyers, Luther Z. Rosser, and Ruben Arnold, "best known attorney in Georgia" and "one of the ablest criminal lawyers in the south."
In his opening argument for the prosecution, Special Assistant Solicitor Hooper described the state's case against Frank. According to his outline, Mary Phagan had died as a result of a premeditated rape by the defendant Leo Frank. It was alleged that Frank had seduced and taken liberties with other young factory girls and had made unsuccessful advances to Mary Phagan. Several surviving family members have said that Frank harassed Mary Phagan and that she went home and told her mother.
Several former National Pencil Company employees who were still living but wish that their names not be disclosed, had also alleged that they heard Frank sexually harass Mary Phagan. According to the state, Frank expected Mary Fagan to come to the factory on the Saturday she died because a fellow employee had asked Frank for Mary's pay envelope earlier and he refused to give it to her. The state contended that Jim Conley had previously acted as a lookout for Frank so Frank's immoral activities would not be discovered, and Frank had told Conley to work on April 26.
Assistant Solicitor Hooper sketched in the state's contention that Frank was alone in the office, giving Mary Phagan her pay envelope, whereupon she asked him if the metal for her work had come, saying he didn't know. Frank followed Mary to the metal room and made sexual overtures to her. She repulsed him and he knocked her down, and while she was unconscious, raped her.
Frank then strangled her. He went up to the fourth floor to get the workers out of the building and called Conley, confessing that he guessed he had struck her too hard. With Conley, Frank dragged the body to the basement and made plans for Conley to burn it. Later, he gave Conley $2.50 and $200, but later had Conley return the money, promising he would give it back to Conley after Conley disposed of the body.
Monteen Stover, who Hooper claimed would contradict Frank's contention that he had been in his office continuously from 12:00 p.m., singled out the expected testimony of the young female employee.
Testimony began that Monday afternoon as Mrs. J.W. Coleman, Fanny Fagan Coleman, the mother of Little Mary Fagan, testified. She described her daughter and the clothing she was wearing, and a court officer drew forth a suitcase hidden behind several chairs. Everyone, the lawyers, the audience, and the jury waited as the torn clothing and shoes were placed close to Mary's mother for her identification.
At that time, few women attended a court trial, except for those related either to the victim or the defendant. Fannie Phagan Coleman said, "I would rather not talk about it. I don't want to express an opinion." This profession of silence caused the rest of the Phagan family not to speak of the trial for the next 70 years.
Continue on listening to the audiobook to find out more details about why the State of Georgia had a solid case against Leo Frank backed by significant evidence against him.

William Joshua married Fannie Benton in 1892, who gave them a portion of land and a home. They became successful farmers and moved to Florence, Alabama around 1895. The family's new home, purchased from General Coffee, was a hospital during the War Between the States and posed no financial burden on the family.
In February 1899, William Joshua Phagan died of measles, leaving Fannie with four young children. She moved her family back to Georgia, where they lived with her widowed mother, Mrs. Fanny Benton, and her brother, Rel Benton. W.J. Phagan moved his family back to Georgia after the death of his eldest son, purchasing a log home and land in Marietta.
Reuben Egbert and his family moved back to their native state, while Fannie Phagan and her children moved to East Point, Atlanta, Georgia, where she started a boarding house and the children found jobs in the mill. Charlie Joseph, the middle child, decided to continue farming and moved in with his Uncle Ruben.
The Phagan family remained close with relatives in Marietta, playing games like hide and seek, hopscotch dolls, and house games.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 25 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Twenty-Five
The Nashville Tennessean's money-fueled promotion of the Alonzo Mann hoax in 1982 is a prime example of propaganda disguised as journalism. The Tennessean's promotion of Mann's contradictory tale was a sad attempt to exploit a sick, old man and rehabilitate the reputation of a sex killer, who was a B'nai B'rith official and member of a wealthy elite. This ground-breaking work, originally published by the Nation of Islam, is a testament to the shallowness, self-promotion, and incompetence of the Tennessean's propaganda. The audio segment, published by the Nation of Islam, highlights the negative impact of such journalism on the lives of black and Jewish individuals.
In the 25th audio segment of the groundbreaking work, originally produced by the Nation of Islam and part of a series called "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," we examine the lies that Tennesseans have invented or repeated some of them. As early as 1913, Alonzo promoted Mann's conflicted story and showed it for what it was: a tragic act of exploiting an ailing old man and restoring the reputation of a sex criminal (who was a B'nai B'rith official and a member of the wealthy elite).

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 26 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Twenty-Six
The Leo Frank case marked the maturation of — and radical changes in — the organized Jewish strategies relating to both whites and blacks in the United States. Prior to the Frank case, Jewish groups had definitely positioned themselves (whatever they privately thought, which may have been quite different) as a white ethnicity, and in the South they fully supported segregation, Jim Crow laws, and the social and legal supremacy of whites. After the Leo Frank case, however, organized Jewish interests increasingly portrayed themselves as a “persecuted minority,” suffering under widespread “anti-Semitism,” and co-victims, along with Black people, of white supremacism. But there is a great deal of evidence, some in the Frank case itself, to show that this change was strictly self-serving and insincere. For one example, we should ask ourselves: How did it serve the interests of the multitude of Black lynching victims and their loved ones for the major media outlets operated by Jews to give thousands of times more publicity to the single Jewish victim of lynching — Leo Frank — than to the hundreds upon hundreds of black people who were killed in the same way?

The Leo Frank case marked a significant shift in organized Jewish strategies regarding both whites and blacks in the United States. Prior to the case, Jewish groups had positioned themselves as a white ethnicity and supported segregation, Jim Crow laws, and the social and legal supremacy of whites. However, after the Frank case, organized Jewish interests began to portray themselves as a "persecuted minority" suffering under widespread "anti-Semitism" and co-victims of white supremacism. This change was self-serving and insincere, as evidence from the Frank case demonstrates that major media outlets operated by Jews gave thousands of times more publicity to the single Jewish victim of lynching than to the hundreds of hundreds of black people who were killed in the same way. The audio segment of The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews explores how Leo Frank and his masters of mass persuasion made him into a messiah-like "martyr" and compared him to Jesus.
In the 26th audio segment of the groundbreaking work, originally produced by the Nation of Islam and part of a series called "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," we also learn about the brutality of Leo Frank himself and his scholars. The public persuasion that worked for him turned this sex offender, rapist and murderer of a 13-year-old girl into a messianic "martyr" and repeatedly compared him to Jesus.
Based on the Nation of Islam book The Leo Frank Case: Lynching a Guilty Man, this new audiobook takes you on a journey back in time with the best investigation into the case of Leo Frank, the greatest American in 100 years. All-Time Murder Mysteries; It is a mystery that reveals hidden forces that still shape our world today.
We are proud to present Chapter 26 of the audio version of this very important book, read by American Mercury's Vanessa Neubauer.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 27 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Twenty-Seven
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man is a monumental audio book that provides a comprehensive list of lynching victims and contemporaries of Leo Frank, as well as their uninvestigated murders. The book challenges the mainstream media's emphasis on Frank as the only lynching victim worth knowing about and the "Leo Frank was persecuted" narrative. The Nation of Islam's Historical Research Group, who authored the book, offers a perspicacious and intelligent take on the case, writing from the perspective of the black diaspora in America. While some may disagree with the authors' ideas, the book is considered one of the most honest and meticulously researched modern history books. The book challenges the notion that the Nation of Islam is a bunch of "ignorant haters" and proves that the "Leo Frank is innocent" narrative is problematic.
In this, the 27th audio part of this state-of-the-art work, initially published by the Nation of Islam, is part of the series, a series of series, called a secret relationship between Blacks and Jews. A guilty decision against trying to deal with the facts of the mother and racialized system of the crime victim, Mary Phagan and the two innocent negros - the janitor James Conley and the night watch man Newt Lee.
The new audio book is based on the Nation of Islam’s The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, which is the best research effort to be delivered to Leo Frank over the past 100 years, and this new audio book will travel in the past - the biggest American crime of all ages; The mystery that can reveal the hidden forces that form the world today.
We are proud to present Chapter 27 of the audio version of this very important book, read by Vanessa Neubauer at the American Mercury.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 28 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Twenty-Eight
The book "Who's Who in the Leo Frank Case" provides a comprehensive perspective on the case, highlighting the significant roles of all the players involved. It highlights the fact that early on, many Jews, including those close to Leo Frank, considered him guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan. This is evident in the audio segment of the book, which was originally published by the Nation of Islam as part of their series called The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews. The audio segment also highlights the significant role of Jews who were managing editors, editors, owners, or executives of local Atlanta and national media during the 1913 to 1915 period, all of whom were in a position to help Leo Frank escape the consequences of his crime and conviction.
As part of a series titled "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," the 28th and final audio installment of the ground-breaking work originally produced by the Nation of Islam, we also hear about the power to conquer all. From 1913 to 1915, Leo Frank was helped by fellow Jews who were major editors, publishers, owners or managers of national and Atlanta area media outlets avoid the consequences of their crimes and convictions.
This new audiobook, based on the Nation of Islam book, The Leo Frank Case: Lynching of a Guilty Man, takes you on a journey back in time to the greatest American of all time - the best investigation into the Leo Frank case in recent 100 years.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 24 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Twenty-Four
The Historical Research Department of the Nation of Islam has published a book refuting the 1982 supposed testimony of Alonzo Mann "exonerating" Leo Frank of the charge of murder. The book adds new information that has never been published before and provides a definitive deconstruction of the Mann fable. The book was used in the 1980s as a bludgeon by the ADL to extract a pardon for Frank from Georgia, a possibility that might be repeated now that a new governor is in place. The book also delves into the bizarre claim of a pro-Frank partisan that "bite marks" were found on the body of Mary Phagan and that the marks did not match Leo Frank's teeth. No such marks were ever found, and the widely circulated tale is a complete fabrication.
In the 24th audio segment of the groundbreaking work originally produced by the Nation of Islam and part of a series titled "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," we also learn about the outlandish claims of the pro-Frank faction. "Bite marks" were found on Mary Fagan's body, which "did not match Leo Frank's teeth." No such traces have ever been found. The dominant story is entirely fictional. Based on the Nation of Islam book The Leo Frank Case: Lynching a Guilty Man, this new audiobook takes you on a journey back in time with the best investigation into the case of Leo Frank, the greatest American in 100 years. All-Time Murder Mysteries; It is a mystery that reveals hidden forces that still shape our world today.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 23 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Twenty-Three
Attorney William Smith, who initially represented James Conley, resigned due to the influence of an agent of the William Burns detective agency, Dan Lehon, in an unrelated abduction case. This move demonstrates extreme naivety or weak legal ethics on Smith's part. Smith's defection from advocate to accuser of murder is a strange about-face, similar to the Leo Frank case, which involved people with strong evidence against Frank and close contact with agents of the William Burns agency working for Frank.
Attorney William Smith sold his "pro bono" legal services to James Conley as an unrelated influence in the kidnapping of Agent Dan Lehon of the William Burns Detective Agency. This is an example of extreme naivety or poor legal ethics in the courtroom. It's part of Smith's side. Smith's transition from defending Conley to accusing him of killing him is a very strange transition. But things took a sudden turn for the worse for Leo Frank. This is especially true for people who 1) have strong evidence against Leo Frank and 2) are closely related to the William Burns Agency agents who were working for Frank at the time. (Edit: James Conley's "volunteer" attorney, William Smith, later changed his mind and found Conley guilty.)
In the 23rd audio segment of the groundbreaking work, originally produced by the Nation of Islam and part of a series titled "The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews," we also learn about the public abuse and family legacy of Judge Leonard Roan. . He ran Frank's trial two years ago. Judge Roan was approached on his deathbed by Leo Frank's attorney, who presented him with a letter written shortly after the judge's death in which he believed Frank was innocent and entitled to a new trial. That's exactly what Frank's lawyer was trying to do at that point. Both the internal evidence of the letter and statements from Judge Roane's own family indicate that the letter was forged.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 22 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Twenty-Two
The Leo Frank case involved a strained effort by the Frank team to use human excrement found in the National Pencil Company elevator shaft as proof that Leo Frank was innocent of murdering Mary Phagan. The "shit in the shaft" theory was based on the fear that the use of the elevator to move Mary's body was too damning for their client, as only Frank had a key to the elevator. The theory argued that the excrement was deposited at the bottom of the shaft before the murder by James Conley, but was "crushed for the first time" when detectives visited the basement after the murder, proving the elevator could not have been used to move Mary's body.
In the 22nd audio segment of this groundbreaking work, originally produced by the Nation of Islam, part of a series entitled The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, we can see just how weak this theory is. Who knew the chair "broke first" when the detectives fell? Smell has been cited as "evidence" of this, but in reality it's a real hassle. Second, they say it doesn't smell? The passage is uneven and full of debris. This can cause the floor of the elevator car to hit one object this time and then another object the next time. The vehicle can be started and stopped manually and is usually parked on the floor if heavy items need to be loaded or unloaded. Also in this important book, we learn about the extraordinary lengths Frank's forces went to in order to extract James Conley's "confession of murder." An ADL official even publicly claimed that Conley had confessed "thousands of times."

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 16 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Sixteen
Important members of the Jewish community, who launched a public relations campaign portraying Leo Frank as an innocent victim of "anti-Semitism," may have played a role in the murder of Frank. The New York Times, the flagship of the Frank publicity machine, created the fictional "Knights of Mary Phagan" to position them as wanting to lynch Frank months before the actual lynching. This was likely due to fear that the released Frank's perverse personality would undo the good they had done for the Jewish people and to position Jews as "victims of the Klan" in the public's mind.
In the 16th audio installment of the ground-breaking work originally published by the Nation of Islam, part of The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews series, we uncover some of the most surprising predictions and ideas in the entire book. Why have powerful Jewish groups, who had launched their own investigations into the incident and were demanding a new trial for Leo Frank through national editorials, suddenly gone silent on the investigation and prosecution of the parties to the lynching? sincere? ? Why is the Jewish connection to the Ku Klux Klan so downplayed that it is virtually unknown to the public today?

Why did the powerful Jewish groups, who had launched their own investigations of the case and who had been screaming from the nation’s editorial pages for a new trial for Leo Frank, suddenly fall silent when it came to investigating and pursuing the lynching party who killed Frank? Why, even today, are the Jewish connections to the Ku Klux Klan downplayed to such an extent that they are almost unknown to the public?

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 19 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Nineteen
The testimony of Black men and women was crucial in the trial of Leo M. Frank for the murder of Mary Phagan. However, the treatment of these Black witnesses was often poor. The prosecution often "sweated" or gave them "the Third Degree" of abuse, threatening or abusing them to prevent them from telling the truth. Even the man on trial, Leo M. Frank, never received such treatment from the police, detectives, or prosecutor's office. Leo Frank partisans framed two Black men, Newt Lee and Jim Conley, with planted evidence and hired perjury, and even solicited the murder of James Conley, whose testimony against Frank was crucial.
In this, the nineteenth audio segment of this ground-breaking work originally published by the Nation of Islam, part of their series called The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, we also learn of the highly improbable claims of the Frank defense, including Leo Frank’s bizarre claim on the stand that he had “unconsciously” used the toilet at the very location and time at which Mary Phagan was being strangled to death — incidentally leaving his valuable papers and payroll unguarded in an unlocked, open office in an unlocked building.
This new audio book, based on the Nation of Islam’s The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, the best investigative effort made on the Leo Frank case in the last 100 years, will take you on a trip into the past — to the greatest American murder mystery of all time; a mystery that will reveal to you the hidden forces that shape our world even today.

The Lynching of a Guilty Man Part 21 By The Nation of Islam
The Leo Frank Case: The Lynching of a Guilty Man, Part Twenty-One
The "death notes" left beside Mary Phagan's body after her murder in 1913 have been a subject of speculation. Some believe they were written by James Conley, directed by Mary's convicted killer, Leo Frank, or purposefully written by Frank to shift suspicion onto a Black man. In the twenty-first audio segment of The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, experts discuss the handwriting experts' opinions on the notes and how the historical record has been distorted by Leo Frank partisans, such as author Steve Oney.
